Scottish Highers & A Level English Study Guides

Welcome to English Study Guides As every student knows; a methodical approach to English Exams calls for having the right study material.
For this reason, as a practising teacher I have researched and compiled these very essential guides to ensure success in any Literature exams. The following study guides are available from E-Bay or from me by e-mail.

Quizmaster English A Level Revision Quiz ON CD-ROM

The High Fliers Complete Quiz for A/AS English and Scottish Highers on CD ROM

This quiz is specially designed for those students who want to aim high in Eng Lit !

The quiz has been carefully researched to fill a much needed gap for students who aren’t sure of the difference between a metaphor and a muse or a persona from a phantasmagoria.

Compiled from notes, consulted from heavyweight books; these Quizzes have been prepared by a practising teacher and are configured to cover the following areas of study, with 50 questions each area, totalling 250 questions on 177 pages:

Essay planning & writing

Textual analysis

The novel

Poetry

Drama

Each discipline has 50 essential questions in multiple-choice format and can be checked with their respective correct answers and correlated with the grading system.

The benefits of this type of diagnostic testing are that one knows exactly one’s weak areas and revises those components accordingly. The questions generally show a short summary of a particular facet before the student attempts them.
